A Koch snowflake begins with an equilateral triangle with a side length of (stage 0). Trisect each side and attach a smaller equilateral triangle to the center of each side (stage 1). Repeat for each triangle to obtain stage 2. Find the perimeter and area of the stage 2 snowflake.

SOLUTION = perimeter stage = area stage

In stage 1, each side is replaced by smaller sides each of length . smaller equilateral triangles are added. By virtue of similarity the smaller triangle’s area is proportional the original triangle’s area. The areas’ ratio is equal to the square of the lengths’ ratio.

In stage 2 each side is replaced by smaller sides each of length . smaller equilateral triangles are added.
